Today, Doctor Who fans received another special guest star announcement. Goran Višnjić (ER, Timeless) and Robert Glenister (Paranoid, Law and Order: UK) will appear in the upcoming season that will air January 2020.
Glenister is no stranger to the TARDIS, as he appeared in the series over 30 years ago. Višnjić, however, will be making his series debut.
What They Said
Glenister said, “I first appeared in Doctor Who in ‘The Caves of Androzani’ at the tender age of 24 in 1984. 35 years later, I got to be in it again at the not-so-tender age of nearly 60. How time flies!”
Speaking ahead of his debut Doctor Who appearance, Višnjić said, “I’ve always been a huge fan of Doctor Who, so when the offer to play one of my favorite people in history came, it made me so happy to be part of the show and it turned into this awesome, dream job!”
Matt Strevens, Executive Producer said: “One of the great joys of Doctor Who is the legendary actors who want to come and join in the Doctor’s adventures. We were thrilled to welcome Goran and Robert, whose worked we’ve loved and admired for years. They create two iconic characters who are going to delight and entertain.”
Doctor Who will return January 2020. Jodie Whittaker will reprise her role as the Thirteenth Doctor alongside Tosin Cole (Ryan), Mandip Gill (Yaz) and Bradley Walsh (Graham), who are all returning for their second season. Chris Chibnall returns as Showrunner with Matt Strevens as Executive Producer.
Tomorrow, November 23rd, check back as we will follow up with the series 12 trailer announcement.
